i know everyone :(

derb sounded familar, then when you said ed xr6 im pretty sure you had that as your avatar over there at one stage or another.

it still is my avatar and now ive set it here too :D. i actually changed my username to Simmo over there as i was sick of people calling me derb in real life. but im derb everywhere else, OCAU and any other place i sign up.

I've had my share of abuse I suppose and my usual reply was FLICK OFF dickhead untill one day, in the grip of road rage, I had a guy laugh at me and I realised that it was funny if not directed at you, or more to the point it is funny watching someone go off esp if youve done the same thing and felt embarassed afterward.

So now when someone abuses me I laugh at them, not a chuckle but a full on laugh and it works, they either laugh along with you or get embarassed and slink away, its only the ones with those crazy eyes that I avoid, you know that stare, the thousand mile one, or the rollin eyes, they worry me them ones.

Met with a relative of the future Son-in-law recently.

In response to something on the telly he goes into something like "Japs are no good, should all be drowned at birth" etc etc.

I tried to continue with "they make good cars though" (knowing that he must have seen my car, as he arrived after me).

His response was "we make good cars in Australia mate".

So it was.... Ok. End of discussion. I did not say another word to this jerk and I don't think that I ever will. (Well done Spiro)

SUCKER :(

you should have strangled him straight  away. was 'mate' pronounced mmmmaaaaattttteeeee?

StageZilla, if you are really keen to do a strappa in the VS, unplug the fuse for the ABS, when your done, plug it back in. it is a family car after all, its more designed for transport rather than skids, theres always a way round it tho :(

I dont know what the major attraction with p-platers and holdens and fords are. but its probably more with the money side of things. how many bogans can afford a skyline? i rest my case :) if they had more money they'd probably be hoonin around in r32s or something...

Ive only flung abuse at a few people:

1. i was drunk, and

2. they were excels :)

i just bought a skyline, and i was always planning to get a ford and do that up...doesnt mean they're poor man, its about preference too

sorry to say it, but a lot of the comments in this thread are lowering you guys to what you're bagging them for...

Damn, almost got to agree with you there Dezz. :lol:

It is definatley down to a preference thing aside from being a bogan. I like Fords, always have and always will. I am not even from this country and didnt come from the similar equivilant of a bogan in the UK by a fair shot.

Look at the price of some of the 32's. Plenty of Holdens and Fords are more than them that I see bogans driving daily. Not just about money, about culture, upbringing etc. Also plenty of people buy cars that their peers have when they are young or that more people know how to repair.

Plenty or reasons why people choose different makes, most of which are not down to price alone.

My 2c

kermit, kezza & IOWNU,

The "mate" was very well pronounced and he is very "strine" as evidenced by the "we make good cars in this country too" but.....

It did annoy me that he was trying to out Aussie me, considering that both set of my Grandparents and beyond were born here (with a touch of convict on at least one side).

Anyway, it does come down to personal preferences in the car that you drive and have owned Holdens and Fords in the past. But those days are gone unless they catch up big time.

I would rather drive my 1993 Skyline than anything produced in Australia today.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
